Technology Readiness Tool for PARCC Online Assessment

In preparation for the 2014-15 implementation of the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) Online Assessment, PARCC states are using a Pearson created online inventory and readiness tool. The tool provides a location to store the school level technology inventory and then uses that inventory to generate school readiness information based on the number of students, available hardware, and the recommended testing timeframe needed within the testing window. All Illinois districts will be asked to provide various portions of this information from October 2012 until the start of the testing in 2014.
